Project "Never Again" will I rebuild a perfectly good truck - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chapster · 10-26-2010, 02:54 PM

As the project unravelled I wanted everything to be as good as I could get it. so even though the supports, rockers & cab corners were done the first build. I was not happy with the slight angle of the cab corners and the fact of having floor modifications sooo......

Next was to have a new one piece floor put in and rebuild from there.

WOW... when i fixed the bottom of my cab they didnt have the complete floors... thats what i would do if i was redoing mine also, nice work

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-26-2010, 03:53 PM

Very nice build you have going on here!

chapster · 10-26-2010, 04:07 PM

Thanks guys,

I was very happy when they first came out with the one piece floor. That way I know what I have since these trucks have alot of floor issues.

What is everyone's thoughts of finishing the underside of a new floor? I undercaoted and painted last time but with this build I was considering just painting.

69CST-V · 10-26-2010, 04:08 PM

Looking great. Did you by chance take anymore floor install pics? I'm thinking of doing mine in the next few weeks.

Thanks in advance

chapster · 10-26-2010, 04:18 PM

I have record of alot of the steps out at the shop. Unfortunately I wont be going out there for a while.

If you do a search under one piece floor you will find some good reference material. Efabman is one of many that have good threads to follow.

**67cheby** · 10-26-2010, 04:24 PM

i did the spray on bedliner Line-ex i dont want to ever have to do my floors again, i am going to paint over it when we paint the cab

chapster · 10-26-2010, 04:39 PM

Are you going to do the underside of your box the same way?

**67cheby** · 10-26-2010, 04:41 PM

no its wood, it will be stained and finished just like the top of the wood

chapster · 11-05-2010, 12:32 AM

I am looking for some samples of inside lip to inside lip dimensions on a factory SWB (fleetside). I could not find the right wording in my searched as I assume it has been cover a few times.

Reason for request is to compare to my newer style box which my narrowing of the diff and wheel BS was based on.

Thanks,

chapster · 12-08-2010, 08:50 PM

Well, I have some more pics off the camera to bring project closer to present state.

The cab has had the drip-rail removed, Pillars smoothed out and the overall hole opening for the windshield is smaller to allow for the windshield to be urethaned in to give a flush mount look.

VA72C10 · 12-08-2010, 10:07 PM

Awesome! Love the windshield frame mod!

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-08-2010, 10:51 PM

Very nice! I love the windshield mod. Do you have any more info on that project?

68GMCCustom · 12-08-2010, 11:03 PM

STOCKISH · 12-08-2010, 11:08 PM

There was 90 degree filler panels made on the pillars and along bottom of windshield frame to smooth it out. Then the lip the windshield sits on was widened to have more surface area to mount to.

jbclassix · 12-09-2010, 12:42 AM

wow. The windshield mod sold me on following allong. I wanna see what that comes out looking like!

chapster · 12-09-2010, 12:55 AM

Here is a couple of in process pics of a modified version of the first frame stiffener system that Nate did up for me. It is completed now and waiting on powder coating.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-09-2010, 02:47 AM

Very nice. What are your plans for the garnish moulding that goes around the windshield to cover the urethane? Modified stock stuff? I'm guessing not but am curious. Thanks Ryan.

**67cheby** · 12-09-2010, 11:08 AM

Super work

The glass will be coated black like on newer vehicles and a .5" rubber trim will blend the glass to the windshield pillar. Not sure what I am going to do on the inside yet?

chapster · 12-10-2010, 09:23 PM

Next was to mock up 2nd set of wheels to confirm fitment/clearance.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-10-2010, 09:27 PM

Sweet wheels!

VA72C10 · 12-10-2010, 09:28 PM

Nice!!!!!!!!
